NBS, the leading provider of technical information, specification
and BIM tools, has released a new survey looking into the use of digital
technologies across the industry.
Available to complete now, the survey aims to understand the
current attitudes and adoption of various technologies as well as predicted use
and trends in the future.
“As we develop and lead on our own digital transformation within
the industry, we also see the need for different technologies to work together
within the same process,” said NBS CEO, Richard Waterhouse.
“In the past few years, we’ve highlighted and progressed a number
of partnerships with technology vendors such as Autodesk, Graphisoft, and
Vectorworks and developed a number of plug-ins to compliment various NBS tools
with other leading technology platforms in order for our customers to be able
to access and collaborate across different tools, getting the results they need
and not limited by technology.
“With our customers in mind, we want to be able to see what
technologies the industry is using day-to-day, understand the attitudes and
adoption process when it comes to new technology and perhaps look at what the
industry is currently missing.”
The survey looks into how digital technology is changing how you
work, business processes, specification writing, using documents and
spreadsheets, design tools, models and objects, project extranets and common
data environments.
NBS will also be looking for case studies to promote as part of
the report.
The survey closes at the end of November and those
interested can access the form by visiting www.theNBS.com/construction-technology-survey. NBS will make the findings available before the end of
the year
NBS’ research team recently released NBS’s fourth National
Construction Contracts and Law Report and
completed a report on behalf of Microsoft and the RIBA, Digital
Transformation in Architecture, which explores
the benefits and challenges of the innovative technologies that are changing
the way architects work.
